You are welcome, Mutantbuzz🥰
This is so very enlightening. You start from the very basics of showing us how our panel data should be arranged in excel - I kept searching on how to do this until I watched your video. Thank you so very much. Please do you also have a video on how to create dummies and put your data in logs because the data you used were in logs and also had dummies. Thank you so very much once again.
Thanks Angie, for the encouraging feedback. You may want to watch my videos on dummy variables to know the procedure.

Greetings! I would like to know "ID" can be input as "character" (instead of "number") and "year" can be input as "date" (instead of "number"). As I tried, the results are the same regardless of those settings, are those interchangeable?
Hansol, you may post your queries on an EViews platform for more constructive feedback.
How to make time dummies data and why some variables are not log transform?? like trade, cons and urbp?
Watch my videos on structural breaks. Log transformation is subject to several factors and also at the discretion of the researcher.
Thank you a whole lot!
U're welcome, My😊. Please may I know from where (location) you are reaching me?
hello, is it possible to see the impact of trade in the specific country?
Cindy, your query has no relevance to this video tutorial. You may need to re-post on the appropriate thread.
Pls can you also lecture on time series
Hi Solomon, I have time series videos in EViews and Stata. Kindly browse through the Playlists. Please may I know from where (location) you are reaching me?
@@CrunchEconometrixOK, thanks Dr. I'm reaching you from Kaduna, Nigeria
Hi, I have a question on how did you create the dummy variable for years?
I do that in Stata.
When I import the file and at the last step click Finish. An Error Message apear "Unable to determine date structure of source". Do you know how to fix that.
Hi Drump, you should not encounter any hitch if you followed the steps as shown in the clip.
@@CrunchEconometrix Thank you. I have solved my problem already. My data is so big and there are some typing mistakes when i import it. Btw, thank you very much.
Did you not skip the first stage in Eviews where you have to create a new workfile first before importing? The import window does not come active without creating a workfile first
Yes...I'm glad you understand the procedure.
@@CrunchEconometrix The problem is I am failing to do it. When I try to import all the figures appear in Eviews as "NA"
@@cornydube You can also open a workfile and drag the excel worksheet unto it. Thn you set the necessary parameters: select balanced panel, indicate start and end years, no. of cross-sections...and you follow the rest prompts. It's not complicated at all.
@@CrunchEconometrix I think there is something wrong with my data. I click next first the digits appear and by the time I get to declaring the panel specifications, the digits would be NA
Hello, I have a dataset in excel of 4k companies (along rows), and the ratio's for them organised per column, e.g. ebit 2010, ebit2011, and so on. In total I have 4k rows and 74 colums. Can I just import this dataset into eviews as panel data without manipulating the excel file first? Because adding 10 year colums to each company row is an unsurmountable tasks seeing that I have 4k of them. Thank you
Hi Dimitri, the arrangement of the dataset from its source is very key since you have a large data. Each 4k coy should have its corresponding variables along the rows too and the respective years in column. Even at that, you will need to do some preps in Excel b4 exporting to EViews.
@@CrunchEconometrix Thank you for your reply, so I have to rearrange my data for eviews to recognize it as panel data? My dataset looks a bit like this: the rows are companies and colums are different variables (about seven of them) as Return On Assets, EBIT, these have each 10 colums i.e. ebit2010, ebit2011. So how do I reorganise my dataset in that case? I also have to mention that other colums are present with different kind of info (no separate years) like, location, size in number of employees, etc..
Do you have a specific video about that or can u tell me which manipulations in excel exist which avoid having to do this manually for each company seperately?
I understand, Dimitri. I do have a video that shows the preps but it's from Excel to Stata. See "Reshape longitudinal data".
@@CrunchEconometrix Yes I have watched that on your channel, unfortunately it couldnt help me with my specific query. I'm trying to see if maybe another program or eviews itself has a solution for this. Meanwhile I want to thank you for your swift responses.
Hi, I am about to run my analysis. But for my data, I stacked the years in a descending format that is 2018-2008 rather than 2008-2018. Will this be a problem? Thank you.
Not at all. But I will advise you sort them in the right way. Lowest to higher years.
@@CrunchEconometrix Thank you. I did from lowest to highest.
Thank you for the video. How do we prepare Excel Panel Data File (for EViews 10) if there are different countries, than different commercial banks in those countries, that have different total loans amounts (dependent variable) per observed years in relation to GDP growth rate as independent variable?
Hi Ksenija, concerning your data structure, watch my video on "Building a Panel Data". It will be a helpful guide. May I know from where (location) you are reaching me?
@@CrunchEconometrix Hi! I will do that... (a Serbian) from Austria...
@@macro_finance U're awesome, Ksenija! 💕 Thanks for sharing! 😊
@@CrunchEconometrix Unfortunately, I am still confused... what I would like to understand better is the role of identifiers in excel before importing into Eviews 10 ("Building a Panel Data" video is for Stata)... In my example, I should have one "c_id" identifier for each and every country, and than (maybe) another "b_id" identifier for each and every bank in the relevant country - and how do I assign the numbers than in "b-id" identifier (if needed)?
Identifiers are unique numbers for each panel in the data. It is the way by which Stata recognises your data as a "panel data". For your data, you will have to sort by banks then create the identifiers.
Thank you
U're welcome, Sir.
I have a question: If i am using 6 countries for comparing with 18 years for each, how many dummy variable should I have?
Are you creating year or country dummies?
I am not sure which one would be better. I am analyzing bank performance indicators and as a dummy i thought to take countries that had a crisi or didnt (1,0) do you think one is enough, and am i doing this right?
Honestly Anastasia, you need to understand your study to know which dummy to create. Also, see similar studies to know what they did.
How are you dear Dr. Ngozi .. sorry Dr. I need your help I'm doing panel cointegration analysis and I'm using the estimation of parameters in DOLS annually for the long run for conventional banks and islamic banks to compare .. but the problem is an error message in DOLS that ( no valid observations after removing the cross sections ... ) so I can't run it .. only the way that I can run if I make lag method is none ..
So please help me ..
Hi Zad, unfortunately I can't say much about DOLS technique because I have never had cause to use the procedure. Sincere apologies...thanks.
I HAVE DAILY DATA IN PANEL FOR 5 YEARS OF OF 30 COUNTRIES FOR 3 VARIABLE HOW CAN I IMPORT?
Hi Ramsha, I addressed your query in this clip. Select "balanced panel" during configration.
@@CrunchEconometrix thank you
In your video lgini contain negative number is it okay? positive number can use log isnt it? I am asking because i also wantto know how to use log in negative number too
Yes, it is ok in this instance because the raw Gini coefficients range between 0 and 1 and you get negative numbers once they are transformed to logs. It is different from when you log raw negative variables, such will simply drop off, and you lose data points.
thank you :)
thank you always... :)
when i get to step 4 it is not recognizing that it is a dated panel. Any idea why?
James, I suggest you watch the clip again. Thanks.
Mam' can you upload some videos on details of 1. POOLED OLS 2. FEM and 3. REM. All in details example. with different types of estimation procedure applied, their application, details of diagnostic checking etc. We look forward for your great contribution to this academic world... Thanks for all what you have done so far...Its wonderful
Hi Purna, thanks for the positive feedback but you CANNOT get "detailed" on ANYTHING on TH-cam but if you follow my tutorials you will be better off. I have videos on Hausman test, FE, RE, and the "reg" command yields OLS. Diagnostics are not required.
Thanks for your prompt reply. I have watched your videos on above mentioned topic, but they are not sufficient. I mean, how to check cross dependence in Pooled OLS, how to solve them if they have that problem etc....Anyhow I look forward for it. Thanks once again for your great contribution with 100% clarity...
For monthly data but unbalanced
Same approach...try it.
💞
Deeply appreciated, Arup!💗🙏
